The Australian and NZ SCI Physiotherapy guideline committee suggests Tenodesis splinting improve a tenodesis grip in people with C6 and C7 tetraplegia. This is a consensus-based opinion statement supported by the opinions of the experts. There are no randomized controlled trials on this topic. The guideline states:
Tenodesis splinting may be provided to improve a tenodesis grip in people with C6 and C7 tetraplegia.
This statement was formed by considering the opinions of the experts alongside other factors. The other factors that were considered were benefits and harms, values and preferences, resource use, equity, accessibility, and feasibility.
This is a consensus-based opinion statement. Consensus-based opinion statements are less robust than evidence-based recommendations. They can be strong or weak. This is a weak consensus-based opinion statement which means that the guideline panel is confident they can probably recommend tenodesis splinting to improve a tenodesis grip based on opinion.
